What affect does handle length have?

The length of a rod’s handle is directly related to the amount of leverage you are able to put on a fish during battle. Longer handles provide more leverage, but shorter handles may provide more versatility when working in tighter situations. Shorter handles are also less prone to catching on rain gear or loose clothing during a cast.
